“…The findings regarding the dominance of the upper class over the lower class in the form of unfair treatment of subaltern groups are in line with previous research findings, namely the subaltern form experienced by subaltern society groups (Suryawati et al, 2021), the exclusion experienced by migrant women who come from China (Zani & Momesso, 2021) and the dominance of superior power (Bahardur, 2020; Kholifatu & Tjahjono, 2020;Pradani et al, 2021;Sulistianawati, 2020).…”

“…During the earlier fieldwork, I accessed my informants through marriage migrants' civic organisations. Subjected to discrimination and social stigmatisation, marriage migrants used the sphere of civil society in Taiwan to search for support with their everyday issues and their legal problems, and to negotiate an improvement of their legal rights with the government (Hsia, 2006(Hsia, , 2008Momesso, 2015Momesso, , 2020bMomesso and Cheng, 2017;Zani and Momesso, 2021). In the last years, however, it has become clear that migrants have been experimenting with new ways of enhancing their negotiation power in Taiwan.…”

Migrant political participation is a central challenge to many Western democracies. This article, by building on the case of marriage migrants’ political participation in Taiwan, offers food for thought on East Asia, a region of the world that has been neglected in most academic debates on this theme. Applying “flat ontology” and drawing from a mixed methodology, involving content analysis of press releases published on political party websites and in-depth interviews with marriage migrants, this article offers a timely account of how migrant political integration and participation is a complex process. It depends not only on broader political opportunities, social, legal, cultural factors shaping political integration processes and individual political values, but also on the specificity of migrants’ identities and subjectivities, including gender, perception of security, a migrant's family background, their parental status, life stage, and their perception of self in society.

“…This term originates from subaltern studies, a field of historical and sociological inquiry that seeks to uncover the voices and experiences of those who have been historically marginalized or silenced (Behera, 2023;Morris, 2010;Borde, 2020;Riach, 2017). In the context of sociolinguistic studies, subaltern voices represent the linguistic expressions and communication patterns of marginalized groups (Spivak, 2023;Zani & Momesso, 2021;Zembylas, 2018). The concept of subaltern voices has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly within the fields of subaltern studies and sociolinguistics.…”

Language as a Tool of Empowerment: The Role of Communication Dynamics in Subaltern Voices

2024

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examines how language functions as a tool of empowerment within subaltern communities by focusing on the dynamics of communication. Drawing on concepts from subaltern studies and sociolinguistics, the research delves into how marginalized groups utilize linguistic tactics to defy dominant perspectives, assert their unique identities, and cultivate a sense of unity and connection within their communities. Subaltern studies have emerged as a response to the need for greater representation and recognition of these voices. The study of subaltern voices is significant in sociolinguistics because it highlights the power dynamics inherent in language use and communication. This study combines a wealth of existing literature with in-depth theoretical analysis to provide an extensive understanding of how communication dynamics can empower subaltern voices. The findings of this research not only contribute to academic discourse but also offer practical insights. They enhance our comprehension of the innate power in linguistic practices and emphasize the potential of language to challenge and change entrenched power systems. By analyzing how communication fosters empowerment, this study highlights the essential role of language as a means of resistance and resilience for subaltern communities. Ultimately, the research aims to foster a more inclusive and equitable society by amplifying marginalized voices and challenging dominant narratives through the transformative potential of language. Keywords: Sociolinguistic, Resistance and Empowerment, Discourses and Counter-Narratives, Language Adaptation
